The Scarlet Edge and the Blue Moon, the two supreme swords that were known as the strongest of the Earth Tier, collided violently. At this moment, it was as if Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya were not the only ones who were engaged in a battle of fate.
It was not a battle of life and death, and there was no enmity between the two of them. As a result, once the battle began, Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya only competed in sword techniques according to their agreement. They did not use any powerful killing moves.
It seemed like a simple battle of sword techniques, but in the hands of Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya, it gave off a completely different feeling.
Basic sword techniques seemed ordinary, but they also had the most variations. For example, the simplest sword technique, there were no less than a hundred variations.
The Blue Moon in Gudu Wuya's hand glowed with a faint blue light, while the Scarlet Edge in Xiao Chen's hand glowed with a faint red light. The two streaks of light collided on the central island, neither giving way to the other.
It seemed like only an instant had passed, but the two of them had already exchanged over a hundred moves. The sharp sword Qi had even cut open the ground, causing it to split open and dust to fly up. Only Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya were still wielding their swords.
Everyone by the Thousand-island Lake was completely stunned as they watched the battle. This was the first time for many people to witness a battle between two Kings of Pride.
As for Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya, the two young men in their early twenties, their attainments in sword techniques had far surpassed many experts of the older generation.
Whether it was their foundation of the way of the sword, their comprehension of sword techniques, or their application of sword techniques, they were far beyond the reach of many experts of the older generation.
Many sword cultivators of the older generation seemed to have understood something as they watched the battle between the two of them. Some of them even had an epiphany. The bottleneck that had not loosened for many years had loosened because of the battle between Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya. This filled many people with shock.
They weren't the only ones. The other eight Prodigy Kings were the same. Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya were known as the leaders of the ten Prodigy Kings when the ten Prodigy Kings had just been born.
In the past, one of them had been the head of the Central Divine Region's King Pride, while the other had been the head of the four great regions' King Pride. However, as the ten great King Prides continued to change, the two of them seemed to have slowly been forgotten by everyone.
For example, Su Mu and Gu Lei who were fortunate enough to be ranked amongst the top 10 geniuses had already been eliminated by three strikes. On the other hand, Feng Lingye, Lan Xie 'ao, Lin Nuo, Gu Mu, and the other geniuses had only entered the ranks of the top 10 geniuses later on.
Therefore, after the Ten Great Kings of Geniuses had been confirmed, Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya were once the leaders of the Ten Great Kings of Geniuses. However, after witnessing the battle between the two of them, the Kings of Geniuses realized that the two of them were not called the leaders of the Ten Great Kings of Geniuses for nothing.
"This fellow is much stronger than before." Mu He smiled faintly as he watched Xiao Chen engage in an intense battle. It was obvious that Xiao Chen was much stronger than he had been in the Ocean Waves Empire.
Of course, the 'stronger' Mu He was referring to wasn't the increase in cultivation, but the improvement in sword skills.
Xiao Chen's sword skills had clearly improved by leaps and bounds compared to when he had been in the Ocean Waves Empire. This was also the reason why Xiao Chen had been persistently practicing the fundamental sword skills.
Since joining the Eastern Sword Pavilion, Xiao Chen had never stopped practicing the fundamental sword skills. After several years and countless nights, Xiao Chen had already grasped ninety-two transformative level fundamental sword skills. He was only a step away from the goal of mastering a hundred. Of course, Xiao Chen was not satisfied with a hundred. In the future, Xiao Chen would continue to practice the fundamental sword skills, because the help it would provide to him in the future was not to be underestimated.
After several hundred moves, Gudu Wuya had already thoroughly experienced Xiao Chen's sword skills. His foundation was solid and his comprehension was deep. This made Gudu Wuya blush with shame, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Ever since he was young, Gudu Wuya's growth was just like his name. He was incomparably lonely. And this loneliness came from his talent.
From a young age, he had displayed a strong talent for swordsmanship, and he also had an innate sword constitution, which was rare in the world. It was because of this extraordinary talent that Gudu Wuya's growth experience was extremely lonely and boring.
At the age of seven, Gudu Wuya's competitors were the older children in their teens. When Gudu Wuya reached the age of ten, his competitors were the younger disciples who had joined the sect.
Not a single person of the same age could make Gudu Wuya feel pressured, and with such a huge gap between them, it was only natural that no one of the same age could become his friend.
Today, he finally met someone who was on par with him. No, not just one. With the arrival of the golden age, Gudu Wuya was no longer lonely. Looking at the world today, there were nine people of similar age who could compete with Gudu Wuya. And among them, Xiao Chen was the one who Gudu Wuya valued the most. It was not for any other reason, but because Xiao Chen was also a swordsman, and a swordsman who was not inferior to him in the slightest.
Sword Qi crisscrossed, and sword shadows covered the sky. Amidst the sword shadows, the battle between Xiao Chen and Gudu Wuya had also reached its final stage.
After a fierce battle, neither of them had the upper hand. One was known as the Demon Sword, a sword demon, while the other was known as the Immortal Sword, a sword immortal. Their understanding of swordsmanship had reached an unimaginable level.
The sound of swords clashing was constantly heard. In the end, both of them swept out their swords at the same time. The final scene was fixed. Everyone saw that in the end, both of their swords were placed horizontally across each other's necks.
There was no winner or loser. Gudu Wuya put away his swords at the same time with a smile on his face. He bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao Chen's swordsmanship has reached perfection. I admit my inferiority."
Although on the surface, both of them were tied, only they knew that Xiao Chen's sword was just a little bit faster than Gudu Wuya's.
And it was this little bit of difference that allowed Xiao Chen's sword to be placed horizontally across Gudu Wuya's neck first.
The slightest mistake could make the difference of a thousand miles. Being a little bit faster could often determine the final outcome of a match. However, Xiao Chen did not mind Gudu Wuya's surrender and smiled.
"Brother Gudu, you are too modest. If it had been a battle of life and death, both of us would have been injured. This battle would have undoubtedly been a draw."
Xiao Chen was telling the truth. After the battle just now, although Gudu Wuya's foundation was slightly inferior to his, the terrifying thing about Gudu Wuya's swordsmanship was his control of speed. His speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it impossible to guard against. Therefore, in the last attack just now, even though he had the upper hand, Gudu Wuya definitely had the ability to severely injure him if he really went all out.
